I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don't know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try.
It's a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic.
Wondering why it isn't more popular/widely used.
Past Linux user here, not only do I use openwrt, but I base my routers choice on openwrt support, it's weird to me there are long term Linux users who don't know what openwrt is
You mean as an OS? Windows, but I feel fluent in Linux, used it for a few years, subbed here as a sentimentđ I work in IT, mainly Windows administration but some Linux too
